Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter?????


Well, it finally happened. One of the kids smashed the dome tweeter on my Thiel CS2.3. I talked to Shari at Thiel and she told me to put a piece of masking tape over the smashed in part and pull. It worked easily. But, of course, the speakers still looks crinkled where it was pushed in. However, my first brief listening session did not reveal any major sound problems. I will probably go ahead and replace both drivers but right now its nice to know that I don't have to worry about the kids destroying my speakers. (since they already have) Anyone else ever repaired a dome tweeter? How did it sound?

The following link is a picture of the driver I'm talking about:

Ripping the speaker apart and poking "it" from the backside would probably get the wrinkle out as well, but you may hear some high pitch noise from it. For this I recommend a port chuffer!
